Mike's Bio

I have spent the first 35 years of my life rabidly following sports and even working for several years in the sports marketing industry which, if nothing else, lent me a little bit in the way of team impartiality.
I have a true passion for college sports, particularly the gridiron, and still have season tickets for my beloved Boston College Eagles, despite their BCS shortcomings.
I am equally obsessed with the NFL, am perpetually depressed about the Knicks, and love EPL soccer which I started following to fill the void just before the NHL officially died.
A native New Yorker, I support the Yankees and both hate and understand the arrogance of the fanbase - a little dichotomy never hurt anyone...

If you want to check out a little bit more about me, my thoughts on sports, or the occasional random movie review, feel free to head over to my blog: http://mikeblewittsports.wordpress.com

Thanks for reading and drop me a comment whenever you like.

All Time Sports Moment

November 20th, 1993 - BC 41, ND 39 - my road trip to South Bend ended with me grabbing a handful of Irish turf
Most Memorable Game Attended

see above
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cy Young - his win total can't be broken, period
Ruth or Mays?

Great question. Ruth b/c of the pitching prowess
Unitas or Montana?

I'm not old enough to do it fairly but Montana's record speaks for itself
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan but Russell doesn't care about this question, that's why he's so great
Gretzky or Orr?

I hate that the old-school Boston media keeps this alive. I comprehend the significance of Orr's contribution but #99 gets the nod
Pele or Maradona?

Pele - 3 World Cups to 1
Federer or Sampras?

15 - 14 plus Pete never won the French
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger for now, but if it plays out where he doesn't pass the Bear, I will change my answer
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty, I guess. Not a gearhead.
Schumacher or Senna?

srsly?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I'm a happy supporter of the ACC and very glad my school headed for a more prosperous future

Ironically enough, I was stealing baseball cards. I got caught just the one time, but unfortunately about 70 percent of my baseball card collection is hot.

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

Did you get a chance to figure out the em—dash?
by Matt
about 1 month ago

Mike, if you go to the style guide or any other article where you see an em dash, you can just highlight it, right click, and copy it. Then every time you need to insert one you just have to paste the one you copied in that spot. Hopefully that helps you... If you need help with anything else feel free to ask me, I will do my best to help you out.
